While the following isn't guaranteed to resolve all stutter symptoms on all systems, we have seen significant improvements on several computers using this method. This workaround involves partially disabling Windows Drive Indexing, a tool that speeds up Windows searches.
Disable Drive Indexing 1. Click Start 2. Click Computer* 3. Right Click your Hard Drive (typically C:) and select Properties 4. Select the General tab 5. Uncheck Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed...** 6. Click Apply 7. Select Apply changes to drive C:\ only 8. Click Ok, and then Ok again 9. Load up Diablo III and see if your performance has improved! * = My Computer on Windows XP ** = Allow Indexing Service to index... on Windows XP Turning off indexing to the "drive only" will still enable your Windows' searches to be quick. If you still have stuttering after this workaround, you may wish to experiment with turning off indexing to subfolders and files as well. Once you've turned indexing off for everything, the option will change to one that lets you re-enable it if need be. In the meanwhile, I'll pass this information on to the devs so that hopefully more changes can be made on our end to reduce stuttering. Thank you!

I'll give it a shot and see how things go. I'd like to point out that any forms of antialiasing or having smooth shadows seems to make stutter much more pronounced when moving around. And of course, framerates only seem to take a hit when moving around, especially in large areas.
Didn't work.
ty for this tip, apparantly this is also a recommendation for people with SSD drives (which i just happened to get today) so im glad I discovered this :)
Mine already has that option enabled so unfortunately this isn't the workaround i''m looking for god to know someone is trying
^Elwe pls read the thread properly they asked u to "uncheck" it
If its already enabled for you this means that u have to disable it! I'll try this method out and test if it works anot later. thanks Kaltonis! Elwé |
Tried it, didn't help at all...
I'm running windows and Diablo off a fast SSD and had drive indexing turned off since I installed Windows so that's not the problem for me in any case.
Strange I found it wasn't anti-aliasing enough so now overriding it with the latest 12.7beta ati drivers works great for me. (I wonder why they don't allow you to change the AA setting in the game...?) |
Good Morning Kaltonis,
Thank you for your helpful post - it was for me lol. I unchecked the C drive contents indexing and wow, what an improvement. I would say at least a 97% improvement in playing. Instead of rubberbanding every 2-3 seconds, I only saw it one time, and for a much shorter distance than previously - maybe just a few feet instead of an entiry screen. There were about 4-5 hesitations (like a short stop in playing, lasting just a split second) as I was playing - as if it wanted to rubberband me back, but then didn't do it for some reason. This happened during about 5 quick minutes of playing. I'll go back and disconnect it for sub-folders and files and see if that helps. Oh, one other thing. Could have been my imagination, but it seemed to want to stutter (rubberband) more (or only) when there were enemies (or I was kiting them) on the screen. I'll try and confirm that later this morning. Thanks again for your help, now I can go back to playing. 6 Update: Disconnected the sub-folders and files, played the game for about 6-8 minutes. Out in an open area (leaving Tristam via the backgate), it only stuttered once for just a split second. Had several battles with mobs, including some blues I had to kite and just that one time. But, when I walked back into town - again, using the backgate instead of a portal to leave that open area - it started again. Not the big rubberbanding I had previously, but the stutter, as if it stopped for a split second. And that happened during the entire walk from that backgate to the front gate (almost continuously). If I can duplicate this, I'm going to re-connect the sub-folders and files and see if that makes a difference. 6 Last update: Only had one very small stutter out in the field behind the town in 30 minutes playing time. Walked back into Tristram and ran from the back gate to the front gate - and back and to the front again - only 2 very minor stutters. And that's still with everything disconnected. I'll leave it that way - still hoping for a long-term solution though. 6

Didn't work for me.
Hi Kaltonis,
This work-around does not have any positive benefit for any of my 3 PCs that are all experiencing stuttering / frame skipping. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5270834509 That's my thread - Kaltonis, please ask your developers to investigate, because it happens on all 3 of my PCs that all far exceed minimum specs; in fact, one of them is a beast of a PC and should run this game flawlessly, but it is a jittery, stuttering mess! I have a dozen games installed on these 3 PCs and Diablo is the ONLY one with this type of hitching. |
wow I think this actually made my stuttering worse. hahahahaha
Just finished about a 4-hour playing session.
The stutter has returned, although not as badly as before (not every 2-3 seconds). It's intermittent, and not often enough to influence playing the game - although still annoying. One other issue, that I have not seen any other players discuss, there are times when I click on chests or items to pickup, and I can't. I can highlight the item with my cursor, but clicking doesn't have any results. I have to walk away and return, or keep clicking for a while. The thing I noticed is that it seems related to a stutter - or in conjunction with? It's as if the stutter throws you into a different part of the game, but you're not in that part of the game where the chest/loot is, hence you can't pick it up. Hope that makes sense? I don't know how else to describe it. It's like the game is waiting for the video to catch up before it lets you pickup anything. I also want to say, although there's no proof, that the time it takes before you can pick anything up is always the same - in seconds. I get that from having to wait - and the length seems identical - I'm guessing about 2-3 seconds at least. Oh well, I'm going to check NVIDIA and double-check to make sure I have the latest drivers. 6 |
God damn this helped so much, thank you!
Unfortunately this workaround did not work for me.
I'm running windows and Diablo off a fast SSD and had drive indexing turned off since I installed Windows so that's not the problem for me in any case.However, there is still that issue with antialiasing being more intensive than it should be. The in game anti aliasing is a somewhat crappy version of fxaa. I already have it in override mode at 2x, but when I say intensive I mean more demanding on the GPU, not that it is generating too much AA. |
Didn't work (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Why would you disallow searching of all files? If you are going to do this, why not just the Diablo installation directory and all its subs/files? That's what I did anyway, almost same as OP but only for C:\D3 which is where I installed it.
#edit: nm, I guess it's because Windows is doing other things in the background while D3 is running. Hmmm.

- "If words were troops, you would lead a mighty army."— Noga 'Putumee to Ado 'Mortumee
Ado 'Mortumee was a Sangheili spy for the Covenant Council of Masters. He wore a blue combat harness, indicating that he was likely a Minor.[1]
He was sent as a spy to observe the capture of Captain Jacob Keyes as the human and some of his bridge crew attempted to escape the pursuing Covenant.[2] He watched from his Banshee as Keyes was captured and the rest of the survivors were executed by a group of Sangheili who had been deployed from a Spirit-class dropship.
Later, he was sent to report on Field Master Noga 'Putumee's actions as the Field Master commanded an ambush of a human supply caravan led by First Lieutenant Melissa McKay. One of the Marines in the convoy, Lance Corporal "Snaky" Jones, a sniper, shot 'Mortumee as the spy stood next to the Field Master. The bullet went up and out 'Mortumee's head, causing it to violently explode. The Field Master managed to dodge Jones' second shot, which was aimed at him. 'Putumee, having earlier been criticized and forewarned by 'Mortumee that his report would contain a mark-up of several mistakes and severe losses in battle, was amused, as he'd have the privilege of writing 'Mortumee's field report, himself.

Bone formation blocking closure of the expanded distal fins during removal of a Seidel humeral nail. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 16185009 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The authors report the case of a young patient in which, during removal of a Seidel nail four years after healing of a mid shaft fracture of the humerus, bone formation into the central canal of the nail through the peripheral slots, prevented the three spread distal fins of the nail to close. The nail could only be extracted by forceful use of the extracting instrument, fortunately without complication. |

Thoughts For Sunday
2 comments:
Sid, I'm a BIG believer in Jesus, talk to him every Sunday in fact.
Call him up right on the phone, sometimes he calls me.
Thats right Jesus Montoya, the guy who takes care of my Lawn, Shrubbery, and whateva ya call the little rock thingies that I ruined several hundred dollars worth of lawnmower blades on until I realized it was stupid for a millionaire to cut his own grass.
Used to have another Jesus who took care of the Pool until he just "Happened" to show up at my daughters 16th birthday/pool party, "Need to check the pH Senor!" yeah right.
And I admit, Creation "Science" is about as much real Science as Psychiatry, OK, thats not really fair.
To the Creationists, at least there consistant on the pathology of Homosexuality, which was considered a real disease back in the 60's, i.e. when you were in med school...
But seriously, I know, we're really
just monkeys with less agility and better verbal skills, and sometimes I'd like to scream and throw my own feces when some snooty Gorilla/Surgeon trys to go all Alpha Male on me...
It's sorta hot when a Female Surgeon does it though.
The Dominatrix thang, not the throwing feces.
Speaking of Feces, can you believe Bill Marh isn't one of us Christ Killers? I mean, umm you know, that H-word that kept the (Right) Reverend Jesse Jackson from being the Democrat presidential nominee in 1984.
I mean he's got the Schnoz, the attitude, the general A-holeness that made millions of mild mannered Germans vote the straight (National) Democratic(Socialist) ticket.
Seriously, he's enough to make me cheer for the English in "In the name of the Father"
Umm gotta run, seems Starbucks doesn't really like you to use there wi-fi if you dont buy anything

It's all fear and the need for comfort. Humans in an earlier age, sans science.
Dr Schwab, I must make a comment to you on this. No matter how much you try to point out inconsistencies in Christianity, it doesn't matter. Believers are Believers. Mired in fear of change. At least, that's how I see Evangelism. Or even Christianity. (We won't even touch the fanaticism of other certain doctrines currently at war with us...oh wait, they've been at war with that belief for hundreds of years, never mind that.)
Trying to explain hypocrisy to Believers, it's a no win situation. While hating science, their minds rationalize. Huh. Troublesome evolutionary fault, that. But of course, it's God's design.
I just want to reach out and let you know, it doesn't matter what you try to present as empirical evidence, inconsistencies, anything. Followers are blinded by Faith.
I envy that comfort. But it just isn't so.

Released: May 01st, 1994
Running Time: 105
Director: Jim Powers
Company: Sin City Entertainment
Dave Hardman, Moosse, Brooke Ashley, Rick Masters, Teddy, Nicole London, Damian Wolf
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
I really like this tape, and it's all due to the presence of Nicole London, looking more beautiful here than I've seen in a long while. The tape is reminiscent of Ashlyn Gere's Realities, in that it's a sort of odyssey through Nicole's sex life. She appears in every scene, first talking dirty to the camera, then in a hot tub, sharing pussy rubs with "Sahara, etc. All the sex scenes are hot, but the best has to be the third, where Nicole does an anal on the stairs of her house with her real-life husband "London." There's obviously a lot of love between these two, and it comes across clearly on the screen.
Next best is the bathtub threesome, where Nicole helps Dave Hardman fuck newcomer Teddy (no, not Teddi Austin), a pairing that also leads to some doggie-style anal action and a facial finale. And speaking of finales, even the last scene is enjoyable, and may be some of the best work Brooke Ashley has ever done, as she and Nicole pleasure four guys, all of whom climax on Nicole's face at the same time. Advertising may not push this tape as hard as it should, so it will be up to retailers to recommend it to their Nicole London fans — or anybody who likes good, hot sex. Also appearing: Rick Masters, Damian Wolf, Moosse.

A lot of time and effort went into making this trailer.
This is the trailer to my upcoming flick, Sonic the hedgehog: Two Worlds Collide!
The movie is sponsored by Thespritas.com, a website where all sprite animators are welcome and can come to hone their sprite animating skill. The spritas aim to better sprite animators so others don't look at sprites as "lazy animation".
The movies plot (as cliche as it may be) is goku, vegeta and broly are all transported to the world of mobius, where sonic and shadow (along with friends) are racing to see who is the fastest. When goku and Co. arrive it's up to the seven heroes to stop broly from obtaining the magic dragonballs and wishing for immortality.
Animators: SXR123 Shadowwalker

Additional animation: SXR123

EDIT: DAMN GUYS! Thanks a lot! you guys kick ass! I was kind of upset about the timing I had on this flash, and the three haters who gave this an unfair rating, but thanks a lot guys. I appreciate the daily fifth and the popular movies spot!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
It`s been a very long time since i`ve reviewed here, on the Portal. And i`m not talking about these 2 days we all waited for the Update. So, i would like to take up that opportunity to both review this, and explain a few things to everyone.
Firstly... I know, it is sort of weird having to review on my very own work. I will leave the criticism about the visual outcast to everyone else.
Second, I would like to thank everyone who reviewed and took their time to express their thoughts and opinions out loud. I fully appreciate everyone`s feedback, support and criticism by far. I have noticed that there are many people that had been looking forward to this, so i can see that me and SXR123 both have done a successful job.
This is nothing more than just a small, simple 'thank you' type of note for everyone`s supportive commentaries. It does take will and time for someone to express, and that`s also admirable. Patience is a virtue, everyone. I know you can do it, the movie will be worth the wait, and very promising as well...
And as for the questions, i know this Trailer maybe doesn`t express Story-wise anything, or maybe anything TOO thrilling at all. But at least this trailer did what every one is supposed to: Give out goose bumps. ^^
The movie will supposedly clear up everything.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
OK, the homemade trailer of the crossover between "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Dragon Ball Z" characters -- I love it! I mean, this is the wonderful action flash clip that you ever created, SXR123 and Shadowwalker15. Therefore, I've appreciated that you made awesome sprite of these characters to make your project interesting to watch. I could hardly wait for your marvelous project to be released in Newgrounds. Thank you for your amazing effort, guys! That was incredibly awesome.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
EPIC!!!! please actually make this flash. it would help complete my soul...
Rated 5 / 5 stars
This is just awesome...but if youre going to launch it , please, do us a favor...make it COMPLETE...I hate when all the other good animations ends with an incomplete idea (like SMBZ). Anyway, this is EPIK (yes, with K, cause C is not epic enough)
pd: Sorry for the bad english XP

havent seen that ........
This is a portion of the FF Closecalls article.. scroll down after clicking the link above for photos and the whole story
As shown in the table above, all of the striking tools were proven ineffective in breaching the Hi-Impact 8000 Wallboard. The cutting tools proved to be most effective, usually penetrating the Lexan in less than 10 swings. The Lexan did not break easily after being struck but it did crack enough to become pliable enough to bend while the firefighter crawled through the hole. One thing to consider while you are crawling through the wall, is the Lexan had tendency to get caught up on personal protective equipment and will possibly cut or rip the PPE with the sharp edges. Another consideration, is the amount of time it took to create a hole large enough to accommodate a firefighters size. If fire conditions are deteriorating, the firefighter is already at increased risk. Also, this test was performed with the Hi-Impact 8000 Wallboard on only 1 side of the stud. Chances are, if this product is encountered, it will be mounted to both sides of the studs, therefore at least doubling the amount of time and effort to breach the wall in an emergency situation.
In conclusion, it was demonstrated that breaching the Hi-Impact 8000 Wallboard has a high resistance to impact forces brought on by striking tools. The tool of choice when this product is encountered is a cutting tool. This test further stresses the fact that departments need to get out in their response areas (even auto or mutual aid areas) and know what kind of building materials are being used
Doesn't it seem like that would be kinda hard to paint/wallpaper?? I mean, it doesn't show a picture but, paint or trying to glue something to plastic? :confused: I'm not really handy when it comes to building things, so I'm probably missing why the stuff is supposed to be good...what's the point??
Co......the Lexan is laminated between the gypsum itself.........scroll down the last link ........you will see a pic of it.......just what the fire service needs !
Remember what I told you what we learned in fire science.......if the answer is not beer......its $$$$. These are panels are used in places where they would be subject to abuse. School halways,office hallways,halls,restuarts,hotels, airports,medical facilitys, dance halls,fire station day rooms:rolleyes: and other places where dry wall finishs would be subject to heavy use and abuse. The idea is if you build a stronger wall, less maitnence over time therefore less money haveing someone going around repairing holes in the wall.Quote:

Time for explosives!!!
anyone recall the "jet axe" ! ?
You HAD to bring that up. :D In my younger and, well,... younger days, we actually carried that stuff on the ladder truck. Used it a few times in training, but never needed it on a real incident. Thankfully. We did create a few Maalox moments for the Chiefs though. :D I was on a crew that tried using it to breach a concrete block wall. It worked. It worked so well that we were finding bits of concrete quite a bit farther than we planned. :eek: In fact, we found a piece in the windshield of a parked car.:o It went back to being something that we kept hidden from the rest of the world.Quote:

we are telling our age
HI-Impact Wallboard
This is one tough wallboard. By combining the surface toughness of Hi-Abuse® BRAND Wallboard with the strength of Lexan®,* National Gypsum has created a wallboard that can really stand up to scrapes and hard knocks. The newly improved Hi-Impact® BRAND Fire-Shield® Type X Wallboard provides the maximum combination of abrasion resistance and impact/penetration resistance for those areas faced with exceptionally high levels of wear and tear. Here's a wallboard that can go in places you never dreamed gypsum wallboard could go before.
Hi-Impact BRAND Wallboard
As strong and tough as it is, Hi-Impact Wallboard is as easy to use and install as regular gypsum wallboard. Less expensive and labor intensive than concrete block and fiber-reinforced gypsum panels, the original Hi-Impact Wallboard has quickly become the preferred choice of architects and contractors. Now, that original is even better and tougher with the addition of improved surface abrasion resistance. Thus, improved Hi-Impact Fire-Shield Type X Wallboard is superbly suited for all those really tough jobs, such as schools, correctional facilities, dormitories, hospitals, mass transit facilities, public housing, common areas and retail separation walls.
Hi-Impact Wallboard panels are backed with Lexan® substrate and are available in four increasingly higher levels of impact resistance:
Hi-Impact® BRAND 1000 with a 0.010" Lexan® substrate
Hi-Impact® BRAND 2000 with a 0.020" Lexan® substrate
Hi-Impact® BRAND 3000 with a 0.030" Lexan® substrate
Hi-Impact® BRAND 8000* with a 0.080" Lexan® substrate
*Hi-Impact 8000 is manufactured with heavy natural-finish paper on the face side.
And, just like regular wallboard, Hi-Impact BRAND Wallboard can be cut and installed quickly; so painting, other decoration and the installation of most metal and wood trim can begin almost immediately.
With Hi-Impact Wallboard, now tough walls can still be good looking.
Each 5/8" panel consists of a fire resistive type X gypsum core encased in heavy, smooth, white abrasion-resistant paper on the face side and strong liner paper on the back side. Lexan substrate is bonded to the back side of the panel to provide additional impact/penetration resistance. Long edges of the panels are tapered to allow joints to be reinforced and concealed with National Gypsum Joint Tape and Joint Treatment Compounds.
This unique wallboard is designed for use in wall assemblies in areas where surface durability and impact/penetration resistance are a major concern.
Features & Benefits
Provides greater resistance to surface abuse, indentation and impact/penetration than fiber-reinforced gypsum panels.
Hi-Impact Wallboard's smooth white face paper is highly resistant to scuffing when sanding wallboard joints and fasteners providing a superior surface for decoration.
Lightweight, cost-efficient material that readily accepts a wide range of decorative finishes.
Hi-Impact Wallboard is easily cut for quick installation, permitting painting or other decoration and the installation of most metal or wood trim almost immediately.
The gypsum core will not support combustion or transmit temperatures greatly in excess of 212°F (100°C) until completely calcined, a slow process.
Expansion and contraction under normal atmospheric changes is negligible.
Pretty interesting stuff - checking to see if it is available in Canada!
There was someone that posted some info on here awhile back that had done some testing with the stuff. Unfortunately, I can't recall his name to give him and his department proper credit.
Keep in mind that this stuff may cause some things that we aren't used to seeing. With fire in the partition, the lexan will burn/melt and fall away from the drywall, leaving a small gap at the point of contact with the stud. Thia is going to permit a potential path of spread for fire between stud spaces that we wouldn't ordinarily expect to see.
The one thing that stood out to me in his video was the purple and pink smoke that profusely poured from the test walls they built, even with a relatively small volume of fire. I'm not certain, but I think it would be safe to assume that the stuff couldn't possibly be good for you ;), so SCBA should be a requirement to open these spaces.
The molten lexan may also run from under the wall leaving marks on the floor that would resemble an ignitable liquid had been poured to start a fire, especially where carpet or linoleum may be present. My point here is that we need to be really careful about reading some of these things a little more closely when doing an origin and cause investigation. I'm hoping to do some tests on this potential in the near future to see first hand what I'm really dealing with.
Yup, remember it well. Didn't somebody out west lose a limb or two when the thing was used with the "This side out" panel placed "in"? Essentially a shape charge, the force was directed in the wrong direction. It sticks in my head that this was when they took it off the market.Quote:
from Weruj: anyone recall the "jet axe" ! ?
Down the road about 100 miles from Harve, we had a demo on the jet axe years ago. We never bought it but it did look pretty good back then. It is kind of like the salesman trying to sell us High Expansion foam once. None of the old Dinosaurs wanted to see the demo let alone to buy the stuff.
With the lexan melting, would it be possible that this stuff would just become " regular" dry wall since the lexan is no longer doing anything but flowing out?
Has their been a fire test with the lexan? I cant see the lexan "running out". Lexan is much like plexi - glass ecept more rigid (obviously), so areas where their is flame impingment I can see weakening, but the integrity around the weakspot would still be there?
I assume this product would have to undergo testing for fire resistance??
There was a department that conducted testing, and the chief sent me a copies of their report. They set up a simulation of a partition fire with both sides of the wall made of this laminated gypsum board. From the report:This is a photo of the interior panel:Quote:
Packing paper was ignited inside the wall issuing a light white smoke condition. After approximately 2 minutes, the smoke color changed to black. 4 minutes after ignition of the paper, the Lexan backing of the wallboard was burning, issuing a heavier black/gray smoke. The smoke color and condition changed again to a heavy purple/gray color 1 minute later. After approximately 6 minutes from the point of ignition, heavy fire and smoke were issuing out of the end stud that the fire was started. Also, heavy smoke was pushing from every opening of the test wall. After approximately 1 minute of heavy fire and smoke, the conditions changed to a very heavy push of pink/gray smoke with no fire. The smoke was coming out of the vent holes a dark gray color and as it hit the outside air, it would change to a bright pink. After a few more minutes, a white colored smoke began issuing along with the gray and pink. During this time frame, the conditions would alternate from heavy fire issuing from the end stud, to very heavy pink/gray smoke issuing from the same area. Melted Lexan was noted coming from the bottom of the test wall. Upon completion of the burn time, the fire was extinguished using water from a 5-gallon pump can. The water extinguished the fire with no problems.
From everything I've seen or read about this stuff, that would be a reasonable assumption. There doesn't appear to be any difference in any way that really matters to us. The biggest problem comes from he strength provided by the lexan, and it's stronger than hell. It's damn near impossible to breach a hole big enough to get through the stuff in any reasonable amount of time.Quote:
from stm4710: With the lexan melting, would it be possible that this stuff would just become " regular" dry wall since the lexan is no longer doing anything but flowing out?
I would think that although, as mentioned earlier, that it would most likely be on both sides of a wall, I don't think you would have a problem breaching through the back side of the wall. The reinforcement of the lexan by the wall studs is what presents the greatest resistance to breaching. The back side of the wall would most likely just kick away from the wall when the connection point at the drywall screws failed.
I'm hoping to do some tests with the Ohio Fire Marshal's Office on this stuff if I can sweet talk the lab gurus into it sometime early next year. That'll give some scientific validity to the test, and not just be some old worn out truck guy tearing **** up again. If it happens, I'm sure it'll be well photographed, and something written about it as well.
I read the story on FF close calls not long after it was first posted..... Hopefully we won't see a whole lot of it in this area....
There is an article in the latest Fire Engineering Magazine regarding the High Impact Gypsum board. It shows the test that was talked about in this thread.

Good Old Games Doesn't Have a Perfect Record
By ahoodedfigure 8 Comments
It's pretty much a given that when you go back into gaming's past and try to play the old stuff, you're likely to run into trouble. Backwards compatibility is the bane of many programmers and always threatens to be incomplete as hardware and software change.
I keep this in mind during my struggles with Good Old Games. Some of the problems stem from our having bought a low-end, substitute monitor to replace are better-performing but deceased LCD model. Pretty much everything that worked on this machine worked on the latter, but the former monitor has given me no end of gaming headaches.
On top of that, despite many of the games I'm trying to play being made before my current DirectX version, programmers often force the backwards compatibility software to emulate DirectX calls that aren't even in the game, messing things up for those of us who won't (or like me, can't) update their DirectX without making things explode. I suspect that may be part of the reason that other people can all but complete Sanitarium with a minimum of hiccups, while I and a bunch of others have to stutter-step-save every few seconds to avoid the inevitable crash (and now I can't advance any more, no matter what I do).
Games from the high-end DOS era have been uniformly great for me. Despite some speed tweaking issues that made the cursor flicker at different rates depending on what screen you were on, World of Xeen was dynamite through the rightly lauded DOSBox. But stuff that came out around the Windows 9x era have all kinds of crazy compatibility issues with just about any machine.
This would be expected, but since I'm paying GOG.com money to give me a working game, I guess it's easier for me to feel disappointed when they're surprised by the complaints when the games don't work. I imagine they don't have the resources of most game outlets, and I still respect what they're doing, but until they come out with a decent fix for Sanitarium I'm going to hold off on buying stuff I know is from that especially rocky Win 9x subset of games, and I'd suggest that you be very cautious, yourselves.

The Erasure of Black Womanhood: Why Anthony Cumia's Twitter Rant is About More Than Race
By FeministaJones on July 07, 2014
BlogHer Original Post
On Wednesday, July 2, 2014, "Opie and Anthony" radio host Anthony Cumia went on a disgusting rant that lasted several tweets in which he used abhorrent language to describe an interaction he had with a Black woman in Times Square, New York City. He used words and phrases like "whore b*tch," "c*nt," "c*ntrag," and "animal pig fuck c*nt b*tch," all to describe a woman he claims attacked him. He claimed she attacked him because he was innocently taking pictures of a construction site at 3 a.m. (in the middle of Times Square) and she walked into his frame. He posted pictures of her—and from what we can see, there was no other focus of the images other than the woman herself. She did not appear to be casually walking into his frame, but rather, she seemed upset at him as she walked toward him, for whatever reason. He did not report the incident to police.
I'm not going to speculate too much about what happened during their interaction because like everyone else, I was NOT there. Interestingly enough, there are hundreds of people who believe the undeniable "facts," as provided by Cumia, that he was "attacked" by this woman, with no evidence other than his tweets. I'm not sure how that works, but cognitive dissonance is a hell of a drug.
I've read several articles and tweets about this incident over the last five days. Almost all of them are focusing on the racial bigotry in his rant. To be clear, Cumia's language is heavily coded in racial antagonism, as he uses words commonly used to denigrate people of color, especially Black people: "savages," "illegals," and "animals." He also makes several references to the inherent violence of "that community" and charges Black people with using "instinctual violence"—using violence as a go-to response to any communication. He clearly has terrible ideas about Black people and they came out during his rant.
Cumia's rationale for why she allegedly punched him several times? He is White. He made it clear in his tweets that she allegedly attacked him because he was a White man. He then lambasted several Black men who allegedly came to her defense during the incident, calling them "violent savages" who came to defend the woman he called a "pig." Cumia continued to refer to the woman as a "c*nt animal,""pig," and "whore" in his Twitter tirade, and made suggestions that he would kill her himself were he an "illegal savage." He referenced having a gun on him at the time, and said he was tempted to use it, but instead he wished that a "homeboy" would "beat her to death." When asked if a "female" beat him, he responded, "No, an ANIMAL BITCH" used "instinctual violence" and he had to restrain himself from put "IT" to sleep. He doesn't seem to want to admit that during the alleged attack, he was bested by a woman so he instead makes her out to be a savage beast against which he could not defend himself.
Racial bigotry isn't the only thing that was present in his tirade. What is going virtually unchecked—by his supporters, at least—is the unbridled sexism in his train of thought. I was hoping to see more aggressive articles about the blatant sexism, and to see more rallying behind this woman, or at least AGAINST him, from mainstream feminist publications. I found casual mentions of the sexism, but most of the focus was on the racism. Historically, Black women, especially, have felt excluded from the mainstream feminist movement—and at times like this, when Cumia clearly went on one of the most sexist tirades I've seen or heard in YEARS, I haven't seen many of the Feminists-For-Pay speaking out in condemnation of his blatant sexism. Even in some of my followers' efforts to be supportive, they, too, are ignoring that this was a sexually charged, loaded rant attacking this woman's existence as a woman.

Antofagasta Renegotiates Antucoya Contracts to Rein in Costs
March 12 (Bloomberg) -- Antofagasta Plc, the copper producer controlled by Chile's Luksic family, is renegotiating contracts at its stalled Antucoya project to keep the budget at the agreed $1.86 billion, the chief executive officer said.
"We plan to complete the review in a maximum of two months and reach a decision on whether to continue or stop for a longer period," Diego Hernandez said today in an interview in London. "We are renegotiating all contracts to make sure that if we restart we can commit to complete it within the budget."
The mining industry has been beset by surging costs for energy, labor and construction materials. The Antucoya copper project in Chile was put on hold by Antofagasta and its partner Marubeni Corp. in December as they reviewed its escalating costs. An impairment charge of $500 million has already been booked on the project that's slated to start output in 2015.
"In countries like Australia, escalation of costs is under control, but in Chile there's a lot of demand for services in mining and it's more difficult to control the increase," Hernandez said. "That's why we are putting a special effort on that."
Both Antofagasta and Marubeni are committed to Antucoya and neither plan to sell a stake or exit the project, he said.
Antofagasta advanced in London trading after the company doubled its dividend, climbing 3.1 percent to 1,129 pence by the close, the highest level in a month.
Dividend Doubles
The payout was increased to 98.5 cents a share after net cash swelled to $2.41 billion at the end of 2012 from from $1.14 billion the year before. Sales jumped 11 percent to $6.74 billion.
"The company has a robust cash position and good cash generation and the dividend indicates Antofagasta's confidence in its ability to maintain this," Marc Elliott, an analyst at Investec Securities Ltd., wrote in a note to clients. "Unfortunately, this may come at the expense of growth, as evidenced by the Antucoya writedown."
Full-year net income tumbled 17 percent to $1.03 billion after the impairment charge, the London-based company said in a statement.
Last year, Antofagasta raised copper output by 11 percent to 709,600 metric tons and forecast 700,000 tons for 2013. The company plans to keep copper production at 700,000 tons until 2015, when supply is expected to exceed demand, Hernandez said.
"The supply/demand balance will be tight in the first half while new projects may shift it towards the surplus in the second half," Hernandez said. "But we are very optimistic about the outlook for copper in the medium to long term, especially after 2015."
The company, which is seeking to diversify outside Chile by buying early stage projects, in 2011 failed to win a mining license for a $3.4 billion copper and gold venture with Barrick Gold Corp. in Pakistan. It's working with smaller companies, helping them fund developing projects in Canada and the U.S., Hernandez said.

The new QPR boss is open to signing the former Chelsea striker, but he admits any move is dependent on the player and the club finding a compromise over potential wages.
QPR manager Harry Redknapp has admitted his openness in bringing Nicolas Anelka to Loftus Road, but he stated that any deal depends on how expensive it will be for the Premier League strugglers.The West London side's first win of the season over Fulham last weekend saw the club move up from the bottom of the league table, but the Rs are still five points adrift of safety even after Redknapp replaced Mark Hughes on the bench.
Redknapp believes that the 33-year-old Anelka, said to be departing Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua, could help fire his side to safety, providing the terms suit both the club and the player.
"[Anelka] is a player that is of interest to anybody. I think he is finishing in China so he is available," Redknapp told reporters. "He is a top player, so he is a player we would be interested in, but whether we could afford to get anywhere near him, I am not sure."
The French striker has plenty of experience in the Premier League, having represented Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Bolton and Chelsea, but he has struggled with just three goals in 22 appearances for Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua.
Even though Redknapp believes chairman Tony Fernandes has contacts with the striker's agents, he stated the deal hinges on whether the outlay would be beneficial to the club.
"I think the chairman knows Nicolas' people and that so has got a few details on what it would be," Redknapp said. "It depends, as I say, just how expensive the whole package comes to. If it is within reason, he is a player that could certainly improve your team. There is no doubt about it.
"It is what you can do, whether you can afford these players, what they are looking for, whether they are reasonable, whether you can deal with them and most importantly whether you think they can do the job you want."
The Rs are unbeaten under Redknapp with three draws and a win, and have 10 points after 17 games with upcoming fixtures against Newcastle, West Brom, Liverpool and Chelsea seen as crucial to their survival.

Published September 06, 2013
NIAMEY (AFP) – Niger's government on Friday launched an appeal for "international solidarity" to help victims of recent floods that claimed more than two dozen lives and forced 75,000 people from their homes.
"The floods caused the loss of 26 human lives, affected 75,347 people, 13,000 hectares (more than 32,000 acres) of destroyed crops and damage estimated at 32 billion CFA francs (48.8 million euros / $64 million)," said a statement from the office of Prime Minister Brigi Rafini.
The government said it lacked the means "to meet all the needs of the victims and to reduce the impact of this catastrophe on the population" and issued "a pressing appeal for national and international solidarity".
The Anfani private radio station said that four people had drowned five days ago in floods in the eastern Zinder region.
Homeless people have been given shelter in schools, but the new term is due to start in two weeks.
Since last month, almost all of the west African country's eight regions have been hit by heavy rain and by the Niger river bursting its banks, including in the capital Niamey.
More heavy rain is forecast by weather experts in coming weeks, while the government is also wary that rainfall in neighbouring Mali, which lies upstream, could worsen the flooding of the Niger river in November and December.
The destruction of crops has aroused fears of a food crisis, mainly in the west, centre and south of the country.
The United Nations has meanwhile warned that Niger could face a "massive invasion" by locusts, since flooded land creates ripe conditions for the hatching of larvae.
Niger, a partly desert nation, has traditionally been very dry and often confronted with drought, the ravages of locust swarms and food crises.

Hmm..yea... i wonder...would the old poems be deleted?
I would suggest to put a small hall of fame for the winning poem..
I have added a new rule for POTM to aid in ease of judging:
And for the absolute last time, as stated in the POTM rules, entries that do not follow the month's theme WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED. The judges are not going to PM every entrant to alert them to rules they should have read before submitting their work. So check the "Themes for POTM" thread to make sure any poem you've submitted or are planning to submit qualifies.All entries submitted for a certain month's POTM will be closed one week after the winner is announced. This will help the judges see what is actually being submitted each month.
Hmm..yea... i wonder...would the old poems be deleted?
I would suggest to put a small hall of fame for the winning poem..
I think the problem that is occuring with the POTM theme thread is that people aren't reading the whole thread. Just the first one that says freestyle. That's what I read when I looked and I was like "Hey....that was a month ago" and then scrolled down to see the new one and had an "ah hah" moment. And felt retarded. So maybe they're not scrolling down to see the new theme.
I've got one thing to say.....
I wasn't trying to psuedo mod, but I had to kinda help chiefblackhammer cause NO ONE was paying attention to the damn rules.
It just really pssed me off!
Thanks to _gwenibe_ for this awesome sig!
So, are you going to close the poems still open from last month?... because I've seen at least 2 still open. Or are you going to just wait to enforce this rule for this months contest.
... Not Ever Again...
Since it was a recent addition to the rules, I decided to leave the active threads open until the end of this month's POTM (unless they reach the >14 day mark, in which case I'll close them sooner). Immediately when Sept.'s POTM ends, I'll close everything that's still from August. All other entries will then be bound to the new rule.

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Instead of being happy that city officials have temporarily changed the laws to allow one additional hour of liquor service on nights the Magic is playing host to NBA Finals games, folks here are complaining about Pau Gasol touching the rim on Courtney Lee's layup miss at the end of regulation in Game 2. By the way, Gasol neither touched the ball nor moved the basket on Lee's attempt, so this is one uproar needs to be scaled down.
Otherwise, they're playing "It's a Small World" here, with the Orlando Sentinel running a front-page column about how "We are replacing California as the center of the universe." (By the way, as someone who spent an exhausting day "off" after a morning flight home from the Western Conference finals in Denver post-Game 6 to take his kids to Disneyland, the refurbishment of the "It's a Small World" ride has certainly made it less smelly in there.)
By all standard appearances, though, this should be the night for Orlando to be partying. The Lakers could easily follow their usual letdown program and indulge human nature by not bringing a full effort in Game 3, when the Magic will. That said, we considered a sweep possible in advance of all this -- and Kobe Bryant insists the Lakers have a heightened appreciation for the value of NBA Finals games: "We're about to kick it up. You'd better believe it. We're close. You see what I'm saying? This is the Finals. We're going to be ready to go."
And even though they're just 4-4 on the rugged playoff road, it was documented in my column for today that the Lakers have proved to be a uniquely strong road team, all things considered, this season.

Tired of Fighting, Americans Give Obama Space On Iran
Obama's critics on Iran can say what they want; Americans have seen the limits of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Obama has room to move. By Ronald Brownstein
The top domestic and foreign policy priorities likely to dominate the remainder of President Obama's term underscore how much the choices of even the world's most powerful person are shaped by the conditions he inherits.
The political environment Obama inherited on foreign policy is expanding his running room as he pursues a nuclear-disarmament deal with Iran, now his top international priority. Conversely, the domestic political environment that greeted Obama—and his failure to reshape it through his first term or reelection—has narrowed his padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; "Obama has room to maneuver on the nuclear initiative not because Americans trust the new Iranian government, or the president's diplomatic skills, or are particularly confident that diplomacy will succeed. Obama's advantage, rather, is that the alternative has been discredited. Amid widespread disillusionment over the American military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, Obama is benefiting from the shattered public belief that American force can pacify the Middle East.
That's the key new element in a debate that otherwise settled quickly into familiar grooves after the agreement last weekend with Iran to curb its nuclear program in return for a temporary relaxation in economic sanctions. Since the U.S. and five other powers concluded the deal with Iran, conservative critics have besieged Obama with accusations that he is naive and weak, complete with the inevitable references to Munich and appeasement of Nazi Germany before World War II. Plenty of congressional Democrats, plus key Mideast allies such as Saudi Arabia and Israel, are leery (if not openly hostile), too.
Obama can't ignore this crossfire. But the odds remain high that he can contain it and advance negotiations long enough to test whether Iran is genuinely willing to shelve its nuclear program (a question that remains very much unanswered as longer-term talks begin). The failure of George W. Bush's attempt to transform the Middle East through American-led force has provided Obama more leeway to pursue an approach more modest in both means and ends: diplomacy that aims, in a fashion George Kennan would recognize, more to avoid the worst outcomes with Iran than to achieve the ideal.
While polls show that Americans would ultimately use force to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, the bipartisan congressional and public recoil against military action in Syria this fall probably offers a more revealing picture of the nation's mood after Afghanistan and Iraq. "I think from the public's standpoint, we are back to where we were in the mid-1970s [after Vietnam]," said Bill Galston, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute. "That skepticism about overseas involvement in general and military involvement in particular is going to last for some years now." And that means most Americans are likely to give Obama a long rope on diplomacy before they conclude force is the only option left for deterring Iran.
If the public mood Obama inherited has broadened his opportunities in Iran, it has constrained him on health care. From the start, the debate over the health care law has unfolded in an atmosphere of pervasive skepticism about government. When Lyndon Johnson passed Medicare in 1965, more than three-fifths of Americans said they trusted Washington to usually do the right thing; in the decades since, scandal, war, and economic struggle steadily corroded that number, to around one in four by the time Obama passed the health reform law in 2010. (After three more years of economic stagnation and political gridlock, those numbers have fallen still further.) That's the sheer wall of skepticism, especially among whites, that Obama must scale to build support for expanding government's role in health care.
Since taking office, Obama has made the case for activist government more aggressively than Bill Clinton did. But Obama never formulated a clear strategy for rebuilding trust in Washington. On the one hand, he didn't focus as much as Clinton did on reforms (like work for welfare recipients or shrinking the federal workforce) that might reassure skeptical voters about government's capacity and efficiency. On the other, he (correctly) discarded as politically unrealistic bright-line transformative ideas such as single-payer health care or breaking up big banks. That vastly increased his chances of passing legislation but meant that even his successes (like health care and financial reform) produced programs of dizzying intricacy that require government to "thread the needle" between contending interests, as Yale University political scientist Stephen Skowronek says. "You can't mobilize around these things. They are just problem-solving."
The health law's difficulties show the vulnerabilities inherent in such precariously constructed enterprises. Obamacare's early struggles don't guarantee its collapse; it is already gaining momentum in some key blue states. But the program's troubles and complexity make it more likely to deepen than dispel public doubts about Washington. With success in Iran, Obama could solidify a shift in public opinion (from force to diplomacy) already moving toward him. But unless he stabilizes his health care plan, Obama will bequeath the next president even greater suspicion of Washington than he inherited.

School-based health centers are clinics located on a school campus staffed by qualified health care professionals such as nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and community health nurses. 67 Some centers also have social workers, dietitians, substance abuse counselors, and other professionals trained to meet the health care needs of children and adolescents. An advisory board, composed of parents, teachers, students, health professionals, community leaders, and religious leaders, develops and reviews the policies of each center. During the 1997-98 school year, students at 39 Oregon schools were served by school-based health centers.
Comprehensive primary health care services ranging from acute illness care to mental health counseling are available to all students in the school. The health centers work closely with the educational system to provide developmentally and age-appropriate care and advice. Consent for a student to utilize the health center is based on several factors, including Oregon minor consent laws, type of service, and local school policies.
School-age children and youth are at risk for a variety of health problems such as poor nutrition, substance abuse, emotional problems, unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted disease, violence, and suicide. By age 15, one-fourth of all adolescents are engaged in risky behaviors (e.g., smoking, substance abuse, or unprotected sex). Many students who are at risk of engaging in dangerous and health-compromising behaviors come to the health centers because of their convenience, reputation, and cost; services at a school-based health center are free and confidential. Over 60 percent of all students use school-based health centers, when they are present in their schools, and as many as 28 percent of students who use the centers have no other access to health care.
"I think that this is an excellent school, but I believe strongly that it needs a school based health center. I'm a junior and this is my first year here. When I attended my previous school we had a health center and it was a great asset. We have many people who are pregnant and suffering and many who are very unprepared to deal with the challenges of teenage life. A health center would be very beneficial."
Health promotion is an integral part of all health services. Students are taught to become aware of how their behavior affects their health, as well as the role of personal responsibility in maintaining good health. Health promotion and earlyintervention in health-compromising behaviors or practices are as salient to a student's visit as is the treatment of the presenting problem or condition.
"There is too much emphasis put on the idea that it is the school's fault there are so many problems with kids today. The blame should be placed on our decomposing family structure."
School-based health centers work closely with parents, school faculty, and staff in early identification and care of abnormal behaviors or indicators of personal problems. The clinics offer a variety of mental health services for students including: counseling (e.g., for eating disorders, substance abuse, relationship problems, and anger management); support groups; and, referrals to community health care specialists when necessary. Mental and emotional health services play a vital role in detecting mental disorders and diseases that could prevent the student from performing satisfactorily in school. Most health centers offer support groups that involve and benefit both the student and family.
"This shool need more programs of education no only alcohol or AIDS programs sphycologic some body need help for problems with father and mother"
For additional information about school-based health clinics call (503) 731-4771.

Israel was taken by storm Sunday as heavy snow and rain fell in the north and center of the country, causing Mount Hermon ski resort to shut down.
A snow blizzard throughout northern Israel caused students to be sent home early, due to fears the roads will close.
Snow also reached the West Bank, where Hebron and the surrounding areas experienced snowfall which, according to Palestinian reports, caused heavy traffic jams.
Israel also broke an all-time record for electricity use on Sunday, reaching 11,100 megawatts. The Electricity Company called on Israelis to cut back on consumption after blackouts throughout the country.
The heavy rain has also helped the Kinneret, causing the water level to rise by 3.5 centimeters since Thursday and bringing it to 213.335 centimeters below sea level.
More heavy storms are expected to take place later on Sunday, and rain and possible floods are expected in the Negev and the Judean Desert.

if somebody custom ordered a 988Z, would it be exactly the same as the 788Z?
The only difference I could see b/t 788Z and 988 was the double sole.
vertice london has better prices than most other places, and they do custom orders too. their inventory is a bit plain though
you are cool men, the prices are without VAT. add 20% on the prices on the website !!!
various codes, various models
ask Vertice
i dont think they charge vat for orders outside of europe.
Their CS was okay when I ordered (although they told me a pair of boots were TTS and were wrong fwiw), the bad part was the fucking fees...
they charged a 10.79 GBP administration charge and delivery was outrageously costly as well (I live in Pennsylvania, not Australia, why the 45 GBP charge, shipping from England isn't that expensive)?
hey all ... considering m.a+ special order, but i can't decide between horse & camel.
while i know camel is quite dense & strong, can anyone speak to structural longevity?
more inclined to horse as it seems to maintain its shape better over time, though i'd prefer camel as it's the more textured / beautiful leather
I've shipped to the UK plenty of times, I assume it's probably cheaper than shipping from, but even so...
the problem wasn't really the shipping, but the fee for NOT being a VAT customer.
